* John Macy, son of Robert Macy, of the fifth genera- tion from Thomas Macy,1 signed his last will when he was eighty-eight years old, and had nineteen children.
The Macy family was a close corporation for many years. Up to 1800 very few surnames appear, excepting such as may be classed among orthodox Nantucket names. Upon these many changes were rung. Since that date record of intermarriages with many other families may be found.

NOTE .- Through five generations the marriages of this family are here given complete; after that time so many of the name went to Hudson, N. Y., North Carolina, and thence to Indiana and Ohio that only such as seem to have been closely asso- ciated with Nantucket are given, and no mention is made of unmarried children after the fifth generation.
NOTE .- Stephen was a favorite name in the Macy family, and leads to some confusion :

Oliver C. Gardner's house on Vestal Street may well be reck- oned one of the termini of the underground railroad; every child of Nantucket fifty years ago was familiar with Arthur and Lucy Cooper, fugitive slaves, then bowed with age; their story never failed to awaken interest. To the home of Mr. Gardner they found their way, and were cleverly tracked by their pur- suers; not less clever was the man who sheltered them, adroitly engaging in conversation at his front door those who sought the poor, aged colored man and wife, until the couple had been dis- guised and helped to escape by the back door.
When this was accomplished Mr. Gardner invited the pur- suers to search the premises, but the slaves were well out of the way and were sheltered by other friends; they lived many years on Nantucket.
Miss Anna Gardner, daughter of Oliver C. Gardner and Hannah M. (Macy), has recently died at Nantucket at an advanced age.
The first Anti-Slavery Convention held on the island in the summer of 1841 was called together by her.
At this gathering were present William Lloyd Garrison, who, on the evening of October 16, 1830, had opened his warfare on slavery, and Rev. Samuel May, who, on the Sunday following Mr. Garrison's speech, in the Unitarian Church on Summer Street, Boston, preached the first sermon delivered under the "new crusade."
Frederick Douglass also was present at the meeting convened by Miss Gardner, and at that time made his first speech in a cause for which in later years he labored so earnestly.
